What is Motorola?

Motorola was an American telecommunications company founded in 1928 by Paul and Joseph Galvin as Galvin Manufacturing Corporation. The company’s first product was a battery eliminator, a device that converted direct current to alternating current, allowing battery-powered radios to function through household electricity. Since early years, the company worked on radio communication devices. In 1940, it introduced a pair of two-way radio communication products for the US police and military personnel.

 

In 1962, Motorola also started supplying radio communications gear for the unmanned Mariner and manned Gemini space programmes. The company’s transponder was in 1969 used in America’s first Moon exploration
